Match12 Aug 2026

Cup progress for Houston Dynamo

A 3‑2 win over CF Montreal, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market17 Aug 2026

Hull City come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Houston Dynamo did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market17 Aug 2026

So close: Blake Gillingham’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Minnesota United FC moved on, Blake Gillingham reports back to Houston Dynamo, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

The window shuts on the Danny Musovski deal

Houston Dynamo ran out of time with Seattle Sounders. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Duncan McGuire in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Houston Dynamo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match15 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Houston Dynamo against Vancouver Whitecaps

1‑2 to Vancouver Whitecaps, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Jonathan Bond gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

One of those days for Nick Markanich

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.18, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Guilherme runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

In brief

  • Squad No place for Corey Baird in the new shape
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout The plan did not have a place for Héctor Herrera

Squad10 Aug 2026

9 saves: Jonathan Bond was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market10 Aug 2026

Houston Dynamo turn down Crystal Palace for Mateusz Bogusz

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Houston Dynamo make their move for Danny Musovski

$2.5M on the table at Seattle Sounders. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market10 Aug 2026

Hull City watching Guilherme

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Houston Dynamo have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market10 Aug 2026

Ibrahim Aliyu has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Houston Dynamo they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Window shuts: 12 in, 0 out at Houston Dynamo

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 12 arrived, 0 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market10 Aug 2026

So close: Nelson Quiñones’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. New York Red Bulls moved on, Nelson Quiñones reports back to Houston Dynamo, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Houston Dynamo to lose Ibrahim Aliyu for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Ibrahim Aliyu has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Agustín Bouzat signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Agustín Bouzat and Houston Dynamo agree another 3 years.

Market3 Aug 2026

Héctor Herrera raises the bar for Houston Dynamo

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Houston Dynamo heard it as anything else.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Héctor Herrera stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Héctor Herrera and Houston Dynamo agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Houston Dynamo

Héctor Herrera and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market3 Aug 2026

DC United watching Nelson Quiñones

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Houston Dynamo have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market3 Aug 2026

Felipe Andrade wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Match1 Aug 2026

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 92 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon Houston Dynamo had all but put away. Sporting Kansas City will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Market3 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Jonathan Bond's contract

24 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Lyle Foster was the difference for Houston Dynamo

Marked 7.85. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Houston Dynamo

11 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

In brief
